More info

This Aloxe-Corton is from the Clos du Chapître Premier Cru climat. Previously called “Meix”, it is situated in the heart of the village. The estate owns a 0.97-hectare plot of land, at the bottom of this plot, enclosed in walls, which faces south allowing it to produce a wonderful example of Pinot Noir.
The Pinot Noir is fermented using about 20 to 25% whole grape cluster, allowing a perfectly balanced wine with floral aromas to develop, creating a memorable wine with powerful tannins.
Here is a great Pinot Noir from the little-known Aloxe-Corton that oozes aromas of white flowers, roses and spices, characteristic of using whole grape clusters. Delicate notes of peppermint, fresh cherry and red fruits can also be detected.

About the Producer Génot-Boulanger

When you walk through the village of Meursault, you absolutely must stop off at the magnificent Château de Cîteaux. It is here Aude and Guillaume Lavollée tend to their vines before their grapes are vinified in their winery located at the bottom of the village. Charles-Henri Génot and his wife Marie (née Boulanger) arrived in Meursault in 1974 and acquired their first vines. After that, plots in Côte Chalonnaise, then the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits gradually completed their range, which today comprises 22 hectares of vines in 30 appellations. Among the most beautiful are Clos de Vougeot, Corton-Charlemagne, Meursault Premier Cru Les Bouchères and Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru Les Folatières.

In 2008, Aude and Guillaume Lavollée continued the family adventure. They have been working hard and the domain was certified organic in 2018. Nicolas Ludwig, the domain’s oenologist, creates excellent quality wines that are complex and fine.
